@Accidental_Aeon Alt + Up Arrow [Rotate layouts up] or Alt + Down Arrow [Rotate layouts down] will cycle through the different UI layouts to get the commands panel back to the bottom left corner so you can see the target priorities list again.
@personne Unfortunately, the majority of FAF infrastructure has been under near-constant DDOS attacks since the end of September/beginning of October. A lot of measures have been taken to mitigate those attacks, but they're still happening & not all are able to be dealt with. The hardest hit systems now are the Coturn servers, which are used to assist with making connections between players when a stable P2P connection can't be established. At this time, there's only 1 Cotrun (labeled Global) that is having better success than the others because it's a 3rd party service with some additional protections.
With all that said, here are the current best suggestions for helping with connection issues:
In the FAF client, go to the top left menu > Settings:
- General > Write ICE Log File > check,
- Forged Alliance Forever > Use FAF Debugger when starting Forged Alliance > check > click "Get the latest version of the debugger",
- Allow the ICE adapter to use IPv6 > unchecked,
- Preferred Coturns for ICE > select only Global,
Next, quit the client (check Task Manager). Once it's completely closed, open the client again & play.
The next time you join a game & have connection issues, please click the Reply button at the bottom between the (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, go to client > top left menu > Show logs folder > logs > sort by Date Modified, then drag/drop these files into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at:
- client.log file (the Text Document file without the date),
- ice-adapter.log & advanced-ice-adapter.log (both in a separate folder)
@melanol Great. I asked because I know recently that a minimum window size was added recently to avoid the client from opening as about only the size of the window function buttons in the top right. It sounds like your client may be opening as that minimum size instead of sticking to the parameters set the last time you had it opened.
I would suggest that you go to FAF Client > top left menu > Show log folder > close client > open client.prefs in text editor > find section mainWindow > modify width
, height
& maximized
> save (make sure it's saved as client.prefs) > re-open client.
@quietjoy With regards to modifying some unit properties, I'd suggest having a look at Balthazar's SupCom Mod Tutorials Wiki. Balthazar is the creator of the popular BrewLAN mod & is very active in the community.
Just tip the balance to the faction since that's the best faction already.
Problem solved.
@rama Please pass this along to whomever you got this from:
All versions of SCFA hates Alt+Tab or other things that take focus away while playing in fullscreen, so if you're going to do that, then it's highly recommended that you play in Windowed. There are programs like Borderless Gaming or scripts like one of the ones in this FAF forum thread to make the window fit the entire screen so it appears that you're playing in fullscreen even though you're not.
@nicholasporan Not to be rude, but are you getting your info from ChatGPT?
The only thing that is correct from your post is item 1, with the exception that the FAF Client would be listed as faf-client.exe, not faf-launcher.exe. As for points 2 & 3, there is no such thing as a FAF Overlay & the logs are found in a users AppData folder, not in the either the FAF Client or FAF game data folders.
@Sheikah Can you please make the Steam overlay integration a user toggleable option instead of it always being on?
The reason I ask is because I don't play FAF, but I'm always around the FAF community to help others which often requires me to have the client open while I also have Steam running & open to help people in that community too. Since I'm not actually playing FAF but frequently have both the FAF client & Steam open, I don't want my play time altered unless I'm actually playing.
I like the idea of this feature, but it should either be a user toggleable option or only be triggered when creating or joining a game from the client.
Thanks.
I haven't tested in FAF, but in LOUD, I can just drag the assist order to a non-factory structure like a pgen, mass extractor, etc.. This results in that factory producing units from its own queue & not resuming assisting the other factory afterwards. In fact, you can continue to add units to the queue & just leave the assist order attached to the non-factory structure.
Edit: I just tested in a sandbox & this can also be done if FAF.

@bbi Here are the instructions for installing on linux: https://wiki.faforever.com/en/Play/Linux-Install
@charc0b Do you have Citrix software or Sophos VPN installed?
If so, then you need to uninstall them for any version of SCFA to work, vanilla or FAF.
@charc0b I'd start by adding an exclusion/exception for the FAF Client in the active scan & firewall sections of their AV software & Windows Security.
If that doesn't work, then try a VPN.
Have you tried using a VPN?
@xiaxiaota said in Game can not be created always update loading:
After clicking create game, it keeps getting stuck on the file "downloading env.nx2", I've been waiting for 8 hours and it hasn't finished downloading yet, it doesn't seem to be downloading progress.
I've also had to open the web authorization every time I log in, and I can't connect to the chat room.
- First, please go to client > top left corner > Show data folder > FAForever > gamedata.
- Next, go to client > username in top right corner > Log Out, then close the client & confirm it's closed in Task Manager.
- Once you've confirmed the client is closed in Task Manager, right-click the
env.nx2
file > hold Shift > select Delete > confirm permanent deletion in pop-up. - After that, open the client > find the "Remember Me" button >
> Login with Browser.
- Finally, try creating a game for just yourself & ensure that FAF is selected as the Game Type in the Create Game screen. If the game is created, then you're good to go. If not, then further troubleshooting is needed.
@oncehandsome Have you checked the preferences to ensure that the path is set correctly to where your vanilla SCFA install is located?
@pioter470 I'd start by adding an exclusion/exception for the FAF Client in both the active scan & firewall sections of your AV software & Windows Security.
@g-ker @Nubasuk I'd start by adding an exclusion/exception for the FAF Client in both the active scan & firewall sections of their AV software & Windows Security.
If that doesn't work, then try a VPN.
If you continue to have issues, please open Run (Windows+R) & go to the following:
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs
Click the Reply button at the bottom between the (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, drag/drop your client.log file (the Text Document file without the date) into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.
@resin_smoker There's already a key bind for that regarding engineers. I think it also works on units loading into a transport, but don't quote me on that.
